No USB DVB-T adapter seems to work on NUC 5CPYH
Hello,
I am unable to make work any USB DVB adapter I have tried on my
Intel NUC5CPYH. I would appreciate some help.
First I tried an NPG Real HDTV Nano, which is officially unsupported
but seemed to work according to this blog:
http://usuariodebian.blogspot.com.es/2011/06/real-hdtv-nano-3d-television-digital.html
After installing the firmware the module seemed to work with assorted
firmware but VLC was unable to play anything with message
core stream error: cannot pre fill buffer
Supposing the card was not well supported with Linux I returned it and
bought an August DVB-T210 which seems to be really a Geniatech T230
according to lsusb (reported as Mygica T230 DVB-T/T2/C by kernel), and
according to
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T2_USB_Devices
should be well supported in Linux.
I installed the firmware, rebooted and got the same problems on VLC.
Upon opening the capture device /dev/dvb/adapter0 (which seems to be
correct according to file system) and playing DVB-T on 778 MHz (a well
known Spanish TV channel) nothing was shown on screen. Nothing unusual
was printed on the terminal, except on pressing stop, which showed the
usual
core stream error: cannot pre fill buffer
message. xawtv seems to suffer from similar problems:
vid-open-auto: failed to open a capture device
vid-open: could not find a suitable videodev
no video grabber device available
I am running Debian testing (stretch), more or less up to date as of
this date.
Can anybody help me on what's going on, please? I have no previous
experience with TV on Linux.
Thank you so much in advance.
